Washington DC: 13 Things You Do Not Want to Miss

Of all the places I’ve traveled to, I had never set foot in our nation’s capital, Washington DC. It seemed a bit wrong for me to call myself a world traveler when I had not even experienced my country’s own beautiful capital city, loaded with historical sites and fantastic restaurants. So, my husband and I booked a room at the Four Seasons in Georgetown, which had the best location, in walking distance to great shopping and dining. We also scheduled a private tour with an excellent and knowledgeable historian named Jeanne M. Fogle, from A Tour De Force, who seemed to know every single detail about every single event that had ever occurred in U.S. history. Below is my list of my thirteen favorite places to visit while in Washington. While each site was spectacular to finally see in person, the stories and history behind it all (explained to us by Jeanne) was the most fascinating part.
